Given the dearth of young proven centers on good contracts already in this draft, I have to pick Mika Zibanejad.
Despite getting more defensive zone starts than ever last season, he still broke out and proved himself as a more than capable #1 center. I expect him to put up at least 50 points a season while making a very reasonable $5.35m

Only fair because I was living a dizzying dream where I dared believe that Thomas Chabot was going to come back to me after I nearly took him over Laine.

Arvidsson seems like the poster child for new NHL player. He's small, fast, gritty, and great at possession. Also he can score.

He's pretty much your ideal top six forward these days.

Washington selects Andrei Svechnikov.

He scored 20 goals at even strength at age 18, proving he is already an NHL forward, and looks to be ready for a bigger role. He's a natural goal scorer, and with some more experience, he should be able to increase that total by taking on a bigger role on the power play.

Great pick, he heated up in the second half and I think he hits 30 goals this year.

Everything seems right for Svech to score more this year. He improved throughout the year and earned more ice time, but there's still room for him to play a few more minutes per game at ES, and a few more on the top PP unit. His team's top power play goal scorer, Justin Williams, is currently unsigned, and Ferland also moved on, though I think he played more of a net-front role. Svech's 10.6% shooting is entirely sustainable, even improvable for a top talent, and there's room for him to shoot more, too, especially on the power play.

The simple look is also favorable - a top talent played 82 games in the NHL at age 18, he's going to get better next year.

Second, I think Charlie McAvoy is still available, so I’m gonna take him.

He was one of the guys I was certain would go almost immediately after my last pick. I think his point numbers don't look like much if you don't watch him regularly but he's elite.
